To ascend, I had no choice but to create games - Chapter 357

Chapter 357: Chapter 222: Concept Machine (Second Update)_1

In order to help Mysterious Mirror understand who it truly is, Fang Cheng dragged it to revisit a scene from a few days ago so it could see the reason for its own birth.

The good news: the creator of Mysterious Mirror was indeed a big shot, and such an important figure that even Mysterious Mirror couldn’t comprehend.

The bad news: Mysterious Mirror’s random MOD activation disrupted the big shot’s plan, and now it must atone with its life.

Back in its original position, Mysterious Mirror bowed down to Fang Cheng with a sobbing tone, “Boss, I’ll go die a hundred times right away, and we’ll meet again in a thousand years.”

“I always feel that the people I’ve been meeting lately are a bit extreme…”

“Isn’t the number of deaths enough? Then I’ll double it.”

“That’s why I’m saying, don’t be so extreme.”

Sighing, Fang Cheng did some calculations and determined that Mysterious Mirror did have some karmic ties with him.

Although it had disrupted his plans now, it would bring him some benefits in the future, so it was allowed to stay.

Besides, he knew that becoming an immortal was not simple, and he was gradually getting used to it; his inner sense of defeat wasn’t as severe anymore.

He even felt that he had found an interest point and that developing games was quite interesting in the future; this feeling was mildly addictive, and he thought it wouldn’t be bad to stay at this stage for a while.

Of course, if he could become immortal, that would be the better option.

Immortals need to have a mentality of contentment with whatever comes but also of not succumbing to mediocrity; otherwise, most cultivators would perish enduring mana cultivation or tribulation.

Just like a disciple from the Carefree Sect in the past, who encountered a romantic tribulation during his cultivation. The person was a bit naive and quite handsome, and as a result, he was swayed by emotions and died and revived repeatedly, and Fang Cheng had never heard of his emergence when he himself was rebirthing for immortal ascension.

Thinking about the role of Mysterious Mirror, Fang Cheng said to it: “You are an Artifact Spirit, innately capable of communicating with machinery and puppets, and my studio just happens to need a maintenance operator. Come and work as one, and while you’re at it, you can also repay your debt.”

“Really? Can I?”

“Yes, you can, but you’d better change your form. Stop using the Teddy Bear.”

Mysterious Mirror wanted to ask how to change its form when Fang Cheng reached into Mysterious Mirror’s core and rummaged around in the Mirror World for a moment before pulling out a small-scale Mecha.

This small-scale Mecha was originally illusory, but as Fang Cheng shook it, the Mecha turned from illusion to reality, making Mysterious Mirror’s eyes widen in amazement.

Wow, the boss is too cool with this trick.

It had taken itself so much effort to turn illusion into reality, but the boss did it with a simple flick of his hand. It really hit the jackpot this time.

Afterward, Fang Cheng threw the small-scale Mecha toward Mysterious Mirror, and it felt as if it had integrated with the Mecha seamlessly.

Standing in front of the mirror, it noticed its body changing according to its imagination, soon becoming a rather androgynous, gender-ambiguous young figure.

Pleased with its reflection, Mysterious Mirror realized its true form was still the mirror, while its reflection had become an avatar; this strange sensation amazed it, making it acknowledge the vast divine skills of Fang Cheng.

However, it had agreed too quickly; what exactly is a maintenance operator?

But no matter, tomorrow when it meets its old acquaintances, it should be fine.

The next day, as Monkey was the first to arrive at the studio and punch in successfully, he clenched his fist, feeling victorious.

Yet upon entering the studio’s office, he was surprised to find an extra person there.

The individual was quite attractive, but it was unclear at first glance whether they were male or female, and they exuded an air of mysterious allure.

Although it was their first meeting, Monkey felt strangely familiar with them, recognizing something in their gaze.

Wearing a sun hat and chewing gum on the couch, the individual looked up at Monkey’s entrance and flashed a brilliant smile.

“Yo, Monkey, is that really you?” the youth called out, waving their hand.

“You… who are you?” Monkey asked, frowning.

“It’s Mysterious Mirror. We’ve met in the game,” they said.

Monkey was confused for a moment before asking, “You’re Mysterious Mirror? You played an NPC in the game? What kind of abstract art is this? You and the boss are really going big, huh?”

“Driven by life’s demands, I had no choice. But no worries, I’m starting to work here from today onwards; I’ll be a maintenance operator. But while the boss isn’t here yet, could you tell me in secret what exactly a maintenance operator does?”

Looking at Mysterious Mirror’s ignorance but bold willingness to work, Monkey couldn’t help but laugh.

It was indeed Mysterious Mirror.

Even without understanding anything, they confidently took on the task.

“Maintenance involves fixing computers, installing programs, and maintaining the network. I don’t know much either, but if an employee’s computer or network goes down, you just help sort it out,” Monkey explained.

“Understood.”

As the staff gradually arrived and were introduced to Mysterious Mirror by Fang Cheng, they generally found the kid good-looking but thought the name was a bit odd; the parents had been a little abstract in naming.

At that, Fang Cheng could only laugh.

You don’t understand.

Once assigned a workstation and informed about the benefits, Mysterious Mirror was eager to sit down and showcase its talents.

However, the office didn’t have many people, and everyone’s machines were new. Mysterious Mirror sat cross-legged on an ergonomic chair for a long time without anyone asking for its help.

Through Monkey, it roughly understood that maintenance was about handling malfunctions.
